The Frontier

What it is.

Demand Curve is a growth agency that's been going 10 years and counts 7,000+ startups as partners. The newsletter is where the client work gets written up for everyone else.

Each issue carries a job tag, so a paid lead can read the acquisition issues and leave positioning alone. The July 2026 edition was numbered 340, which tells you the weekly slot has held.

The archive is free, and the 110,000+ operators around it supply a lot of the examples.

What you get.

  • One numbered issue a week with the growth play written out in full
  • A job tag on every issue: paid acquisition, conversion, content, or positioning
  • Ad account and landing page teardowns taken from live client work
  • A content library indexing every playbook and teardown by topic, free
  • The community of 110,000+ operators the examples come from

Strengths
  • Every issue is one play written out in full, with the account or the page attached.
  • The job tags make it skimmable in a week when the topic isn't yours.
  • The archive past 340 issues is free and open, so you can research a channel before you buy into it.
  • Examples come from paid client engagements at the agency.
Limitations
  • Skews early-stage and self-serve, so long enterprise cycles get less coverage.
  • Demand Curve sells growth services and the examples come from its own clients.
  • One issue a week means you'll wait for your topic to come around.
Skip this if
  • Skip it if you already subscribe to Exit Five, since both land on practical B2B demand work.
